CNN claims John Kerry and "elitist" for calling for Filibuster overseas...

at the same time, when Saxby (Draft Dodger/Chickenhawk) Chambliss spoke against the filibuster overseas (both Senators were at the Davos forum), there was no talk of him being "elitist".

1. ehem. So why is he there? Unlike McLellan makes it sound, he is not on
vacation in a five star resort.

12. That's right. He went with a few others (Dem & Rep) to represent the US
at an Economic Summit. If I remember correctly he even cut his trip short because of the filibuster.

Good grief... do you suppose if the RW spins any harder and faster they'll turn into butter like the tiger's did in an old children's story? Sadly it would probably be racid and totally useless.

2. Just picking up where they left off
during the campaign.

John Kerry comes from privilege.

And George Bush comes from . . . from . . . TEXAS.

3. Yeah, even Tom DeLay wouldn't leave SCOTLAND for a silly filibuster!
Too busy stealing from Native Americans and screwing the American public for that!

5. Well what the FUCK was it when Ashcroft threw a press
conference in Moscow to announce the arrest of the (not) dirty bomber Padilla? CNN is the enemy, they have sold out to BushCo.

Chambliss is also an election thief as well as a chickenhawk.

6. The party of shakedown artists namecalling?
They had a fraudulent revolution with money they stole from Native American tribes . Half of the party is under Indictment. The other half are recipients of stolen money taken from a people working to bring themselves out of poverty and discrimination.


Oh thats rich.

10. Consider this....

Kerry and his wife have so much money that they are immune to corruption....unlike many in the administration.

13. Beyond that , Kerry was not corrupt when he was among the poorest
Senators in the late 80s.

11. Is Bush being an elitist when he phones the anti choice rally?
Edited on Fri Jan-27-06 09:45 PM by DanCa
Is Bush being an elitist when he does that or is he just being a coward.

14. if someone can make sense out of this criticism
then they are REALLY trying.

If someone can make it seem like it matters one bit WHERE Kerry was speaking from, then that person is DESPERATE to find something in Kerry's action to criticize.
